Short Stuff
Essays, Life’s Snippets, and Poetry

Short Stuff is a compilation of both narrative and poetic forms. I have always loved writing, but it took some jolts from my life journey to lead to more introspection and more freedom to hone these writings into some publishable form. From earliest childhood memories to momentous national events to painful and joyous relationships set in both prose and poetry, this book tells a story common to humans. It is part of my story of uncertainty, failure, joy, loss, redemption, love, and hope. I am fortunate to be able to view some of these snippets from a perspective stripped of the vanity of youth. I hope people reading this work will be inspired to tell their own stories.
